Application flled September-12, 1927. Serial No. 218,899. HenewedvSeptember v17, 1928.

This invention relates to a collar attachlment for preventing outwardbending and urling of the collar points or front portions of the collarflap and an object of the 5 invention, in general, .is to provide anattachment of this Character which, when' in place-on the collar, willprevent such outward bendin and curling.

Another o jeot is ease of attaching the device to the collar anddetaching it from said collar. a

Another object i's inexpensiveness of man-. o ufacture.

A further object is to make 'a device of this character by a singlepunch press operation. o Other objects and advantages will appear in thesubjoined detailed descri tion.

The accompanying drawings i lustrate the invention.

Figura 1 is a erspective view of a collar with twov attac ments,embodying the invention, applied thereto' said attachments beingindicated in dotted lines as they are on the underface^of the collarflap.

Fi 2 is a view of the rear face of one of the ront portions` of 'thecollar, .with the attachment shown laid on the rear face of the flap inposition for attaching to said W flag. i

ig. 3 is a perspective view of the attachment.

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2 showing one of the legs of theattachment flexed, so as to facilitate inserting of one ofthe'penetratinimembers into the fabric of theA collar.

- i 5 is anfgenlarged broken section on the line indicated by 5-5, Fig.2.

Referrin to the drawings, there is ro- 40 vided a stiif .V-shaped bodyindicate in general by the Character 6. The body 6 ma sucv yfor,example, as stri spring' metal; The connected legs of the ody 6 are.indicated at 7, 8 and, in this instance, .the le 7 is longer than theleg ference in length sary. The angle be varied to conform with theOutline of the collar'flap to which it is to be secured and, in any'event, the angle between said legs will be approximately Ithe same asthe angle between either of the front edges d' of the collar flap e andthe bottom edge of said u flap, as is clearly shown in Figs. 1, 2 andl'be made of any springy stifi materiall 8, though this `di is notabsolutely neces-. between the legs 7, 8 may.

of the drawin s, where the collar is indica'ted at a. T e neck band ofthe collar a is indicated at b. i

At the juncture ofthe legs 7, 8, the body 6l forms a pointed penetratingmember 9, and the legs', 8 form at their free ends, respectively,pointed penetrating. members 10, 11. The penetrating 'members 9, 10, 11,in `this instanee, are of integral construction with the main portion'sof the legs 7 8 and saidlpenetrating members terminate at their bases ina/.shonlder or Shoulders 12, which serve to limit the penetration of thele 7, 8 into the fabric of the collar.l iIn thls instance, to producethe Shoulders 12, the

,penetrating members 9, 10, 11 have their) bases narrower than the legs7, 8.

If the attachment is made of metal, it m'ay,if desired' be provided witha coat of enamel, not s own.

the main portions of i It is, to be understood that ltwo of the at?tachments 6 will be used with eachrcollar, as indicated in Fig. '1. Tosecure one of the attachments to thecollar, the following procedure maybe adopted. The penetrating member 9 will be inserted into the fabricnear one of thepoints of the flap, and the leg 8 will then be flexedsljghtly and the enetrating member 11 inserted in the flap in suchposition that the leg 8 will lie ar-V allel with and close to' the front'edge of the flap. The leg 8 will then be allowed to straighten, thuseausin the fabric adjacent mem er 11 to engagre the will to thepenetrating associated Shoulders 12. Then the leg slightly, as in Fig.4, and the penetrating member 10 will be engaged with the fabric closeto the bottom edge e of the flap in osition to cause the leg stantial yparallel with an close to the edge e, and then-the leg 7 will beVallowed to s rin into its natural' position, thus causing t e s oulders12 adjacent to the penetrat, in member 10 to en age the fabric. henanother of t e attachments will be applied, in the same manner asdescribed above, close to the other fla' oint The attachment will beremove y a reversalof .the above described Operations.

Preferably, the le Z will be constru V`so that' the outer eee thereof isslightly convex when said le is in its natural posltion, as shown inThev advantage of this is that the attac V ents, whenin place i on thecollar, willv tendto bend the -front at the juncture of said legs apointed pene- 10 portions of the collar flap inwardly toward tratingmember and the legs 'forming at the body of the person wearing thecollar their free ends other pointed penetrating so as to neatly holdthe front portions of members, and the penetrating members ter- 5 theflap down close to the necktie or scarf. minated at their bases bShoulders.
